Tapes of the broadcasts were eventually syndicated to 40 countries, introducing an entire generation of children to a wide range musical concepts, styles and composers. The first concert to air was "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxwWlQNGeKE&list=PL714A363907F3FD96&index=1">What Does Music Mean.</a>" <i><blockquote><a href="http://www.leonardbernstein.com/ypc.htm">Bernstein led a total of fifty-three Young People's Concerts during those fourteen years, and covered a broad range of subjects.</a> The works of the great composers were explored, including tributes to modern masters such as Dmitri Shostakovich, Paul Hindemith, Gustav Holst, Aaron Copland and Charles Ives. Bernstein discussed "Jazz in the Concert Hall," "Folk Music in the Concert Hall," and "The Latin-American Spirit." He explained the intricacies of Music Theory in programs such as "Musical Atoms: A Study of Intervals" and "What is a Mode?" He broached complex aesthetic issues such as "What Does Music Mean?" (his first program) with clarity and without condescension. Bernstein also used the Young People's Concerts to introduce young performers to the musical world. The sixteen year-old pianist Andr&#0233; Watts made his debut in the concert of January 15, 1963.</blockquote></i>

Many of the linked videos are in black and white. While the programs are appropriate for children, the language used to describe various music forms is sometimes not politically correct, according to modern sensibilities. tag:metafilter.com,2013:site.128140Thu, 16 May 2013 13:11:38 -0800zarqYou bring me ukeleleshttp://www.metafilter.com/126489/You%2Dbring%2Dme%2Dukeleles

A decade on, the Coen brothers' woefully underrated <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvzVMsBoTTU"><i>O Brother, Where Art Thou?</i></a> <small>[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF453EBC399BE5FF2">alt</a>]</small> is remembered for <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OBrotherWhereArtThou">a lot of things</a>: its sun-drenched, sepia-rich <a href="http://www.highdefdiscnews.com/?p=67868">cinematography</a> (a pioneer of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pla_pd1uatg">digital color grading</a>), its <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWQqdOK_KnI">whimsical</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw_YryVgLOg">humor</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqB8ii_hn88">fluid</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOaCD_JNgkA">vernacular</a>, and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590/trivia?tab=tr&item=tr0793566">many subtle references</a> to Homer's <i>Odyssey</i>. But one part of its legacy truly stands out: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1845962.stm">the music</a>.
Assembled by <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/t-bone-burnett/o-brother-where-art-thou_b_933414.html">T-Bone Burnett</a>, the soundtrack is a cornucopia of American folk music, exhibiting everything from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRdqp4N3Jw">cheery ballads</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgVL-rBq9Fw">angelic hymns</a> to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LQoh8Zprn8">wistful blues</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AksY2gX1Dc">chain-gang anthems</a>. Woven into the plot of the film through radio and live performances, the songs lent the story a <a href="http://www.salon.com/2000/12/22/o_brother/">heartfelt, homespun feel</a> that echoed its cultural heritage, <a href="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA05/cline/obrother/free6/obrother1.htm">a paean and uchronia of the Old South</a>.
Though the multiplatinum album was recently <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/story/2011-08-22/O-Brother-is-here-in-10th-anniversary-reissue/50099112/1">reissued</a>, the movie's medley is best heard via famed documentarian <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/da-pennebaker,55463/">D.

<blockquote><b>Context:</b> This plodding chain-gang chorus <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lz-whY0vWo">opens the film</a> -- and suggests the whole story is an elaborate jailyard song in itself.
<b>Background:</b> Despite the name, James Carter and the Prisoners isn't your traditional band -- it's the informal title of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Carter_and_the_Prisoners">an actual 1950s Mississippi chain gang</a> featuring Carter and a number of other anonymous convicts. Encountered by traveling ethnomusicologist <a href="http://www.culturalequity.org/alanlomax/ce_alanlomax_index.php">Alan Lomax</a>, their worker chant was recorded and entered into his vast field collection (much of which is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/AlanLomaxArchive/featured">now available online</a>). Four decades later, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/03/us/an-ex-convict-a-hit-album-an-ending-fit-for-hollywood.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm">Carter was tracked down</a> and paid $20,000 by the Coens for the use of his music in the movie.
The song itself is a traditional fable about a larger-than-life prisoner. <a href="http://mudcat.org/detail_pf.cfm?messages__Message_ID=102084">Mudcat.org explains</a>:
<i>Lazarus was a worker on a levy camp, in the days when "you worked from can to can't and maybe they paid you and maybe they didn't." One evening at the mess hall he got tired of finding "meat in his greens" (worms in his salad). Then he did something for which [he] must be feeling really pissed off and had to really have some balls. He "walked the table". He stood up on the mess table and stomped everyone's plates with his muddy boots. Knowing he'd face a minimum of a whippiong for his deed, and with revolvers in either hand, he went straight for the pay window, took the money and ran. Our story (the song) begins with the high sherrif telling the deputy to go get "Po' Laz'us".</i>

<b>Background:</b> While the cleaned-up version <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPqrTaVXJhI">by Burl Ives</a> is more famous, Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintock originally penned the song as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rock_Candy_Mountain#History">an off-color riff</a> on a hobo's idea of paradise, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockaigne">Cockaigne</a>-esque land of plenty where alcohol ran like water.

<blockquote><b>Context:</b> The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZtgZ5fHOuU">popular off-the-cuff single</a> that wins the Soggy Bottom Boys <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxGMWCnyNzg">their freedom</a>.
<b>Background:</b> The most conventional hit of the album has its roots in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oek8Pams4nY">"Farewell Song"</a> recorded by blind Kentucky folk singer Dick Burnett in 1913, though it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Constant_Sorrow#History">almost certainly predates him</a>. Dr. Ralph Stanley discussed the song and his attempts to revive it in <a href="http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2009-10-14/dr-ralph-stanley-man-constant-sorrow-gotham-books">this 2009 Diane Rehm interview</a>, where he speculates it may be two or three hundred years old.
(Fun fact: the accompaniment in the film, Tommy Johnson, was a direct reference to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Johnson_%28blues_musician%29">the real-life blues virtuoso of the same name</a>, who likewise claimed to have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for musical talent.)
There were several variations on this piece throughout the movie, including two different <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI87rVA44aY">instrumental</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaeIw5nKbFo">interpretations</a>. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QJdaR2jqUo">Video of the original singers</a>.
<b>In concert:</b> The lyrical version was notably absent, but the late John Hartford performed <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3280086155987690904">a haunting wordless solo of his fiddle interpretation</a>, one of his last before cancer rendered him incapable of handling his beloved instrument.
<b>Other versions:</b> Again, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Constant_Sorrow#Recordings_and_cover_versions">many</a>, but some of the most notable: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_tD9BuA1ic">Bob Dylan</a> (his first national TV appearance) - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cJRRc8FToQ">Roscoe Holcomb</a> - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia6IE0annEo">Jerry Garcia</a> (via the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pizza_Tapes">Pizza Tapes</a>) - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLKltv26-00">Ralph Stanley</a></blockquote>
